Could you please help me identify what's wrong with my plants and what to do about it? Here's a picture of what's going on. The browning areas are also cracking, though hard to see in the picture. |

Hi nchiker,  I don't know much about tomato plants but I wonder if the issue could be due to stress from a watering issue (not enough water) or possibly fluctuations in temperature? Hopefully other members who grow tomatoes will be along with suggestions soon. ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| Windburn? Did you protect the plants from the elements when you set them out? Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

| It could be spider mites, one leaf looked like it had a bit of web on it. Check underside's of leafs for webs. It also maybe leaf miners. 😎😎😎 Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong. |
